making a new grow room

Do you think 250 watt wall mount metal hal would get to hot in a freezer chest? I have one that i could use and im planing on buying a 250w hps for it too
Im going to make pc fan vents and what not
 
i know i need a vents but since its a wall mounted light the ballistic is built in to the light and not in a separate box. So idk if i could keep it cool with out putting some huge fan in the back.
If i did it right i think its 11.45 cube feet

you will need to seperate the bulb and ballast. get some wire that is at least as big as the wire on the socket and splice it in. I put 10 ft. extension on my 1000w mh. built a sheild with some 26 ga. sheet metal. I have never used anything but high bay lights converted like this for growing. good luck.
